A type of character, action, or situation that occurs over and over in literature; a pattern or example that occurs in literature and life. Example: The emperor himself was an archetype of what the modern world calls a constitutional monarch; he reigned, but did not govern.
Automator is an application developed by Apple for OS X that implements point-and-click (or drag and drop) creation of workflows for automating repetitive tasks into batches for quicker alteration, thus saving time and effort over human intervention to manually change each file separately.
As part of its effort to make Automator as user-friendly as possible, Apple designed the program's user interface so that it could be used without the need for any prior programming knowledge. The workflow menu is largely self-explanatory, and the drag-and-drop menu style means that no complex programming is required.
